According to the General Vehicle Regulations, what is the limit for the Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) for a trailer to be considered light?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To classify trailers, regulations set the limit at 750 kg of Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM).   Light Trailer: One whose MAM does not exceed 750 kg (meaning it is 750 kg or less). These trailers do not need their own registration plate (they carry the towing vehicle's plate) nor independent insurance, although they should be listed on the towing vehicle's policy.   Non-Light (or Heavy) Trailer: One whose MAM exceeds 750 kg. These require their own red registration plate, vehicle registration document, and separate mandatory insurance. Therefore, the correct answer is that it does not exceed 750 kg.
